Note for mods: This is hosted from my instance's sister PeerTube instance. I've reached my breaking point with YouTube's enshittification so I'm linking to alternatives when and where possible. If there's any issue with this, just let me know and I'll edit the post to a song.link URL instead.

I'm a huge fan of people embracing the internet as it was originally intended rather than the corporate machine it turned into.

Same, but I've also come to the realization that promoting alternatives too fiercely can scare away the people who happen to love YouTube/Spotify/etc and aren't ready or willing to try them out yet. We want them to come here and share music, then figure out they could have a better experience with other solutions hahaha.

Edit: I realized after posting this could be seen as passive aggressive commentary against FOSS links when I didn't mean it that way. 🫠
Carry on.

Nah, I get it. I get annoyed when people post Invidious links. Not because I'm against them, but because I run an Invidious instance myself and have a browser plugin to re-write YT links to use that one that's 15 feet away from me. But the plugin only works if the link is to YouTube. When it's some random Invidious instance on the other side of the planet, it takes forever to load because of the multiple levels of redirection and is just frustrating since my browser plugin would have redirected a YT link to my local server.

I just figure with my ample bandwidth, PeerTube's P2P load balancing, Lemmy's small-ish userbase not sending a million simultaneous requests to it, and not having to proxy to another source (e.g. YT) it would balance out in my favor.

Will def continue to provide "corpo" links or maybe switch back to those for the "main" link and provide FOSS ones as alternates. If you've got a preference here, just let me know.

Whatever works for you mate. I've shared links from just about every corpo service out there simply because trying them out exposes me to new music and I always leave with new favorites. (And I don't feel right hating on them without suffering through them now and then lol.)

Having a low barrier for entry is also intentionally part of the culture here because I want people to feel comfortable sharing their music. It's something easy for most people to relate to in positive ways, which is something I think the fediverse could use more of.
